  • Title: Controllable deposition of a platinum nanoparticle ensemble on a polyaniline/graphene hybrid as a novel electrode material for electrochemical sensing.
    Author: Qiu JD, Shi L, Liang RP, Wang GC, Xia XH.
    Journal: Chemistry; 2012 Jun 18; 18(25):7950-9. PubMed ID: 22573608.
    Abstract:
    We demonstrate for the first time an interfacial polymerization method for the synthesis of high-quality polyaniline-modified graphene nanosheets (PANI/GNs), which represents a novel type of graphene/polymer heterostructure. The interfacial polymerization at a liquid-liquid interface allows PANI to grow uniformly on the surface of the GNs. An ultra-high loading of Pt nanoparticles was then controllably deposited on the surface of the PANI/GNs to form a Pt/PANI/GNs hybrid. The obtained composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. The Pt/PANI/GNs hybrid shows excellent electrocatalytic activity toward methanol oxidation and oxygen reduction. H(2)O(2) and glucose were used as two representative analytes to demonstrate the sensing performance of a Pt/PANI/GNs-modified electrode. It is found that this sensing element shows high sensitivity and a low detection limit for H(2)O(2) and glucose. The results demonstrate that the Pt/PANI/GNs hybrid may be an attractive and advanced electrode material with potential applications in the construction of electrochemical sensors and biosensors.
